clk350 2006
Having previously been a JDM fan, and my beloved Honda Stream finally giving in to the fight with corrosion I have migrated to something more grown up.

2006 CLK 350 (yes the balance shaft ones)

Picked it up from a good friend for £2.5k , its in superb condition, I am very very much enjoying it. Totally brilliant to drive, it just wafts along.

I am putting aside some cash assuming it will drop the balance shaft issue, can anyone who has had it done give me an idea of cost?
I am assuming £ 2 - 2.5k?

Finally other than that is there anything glaring I should watch out for? Once the balance shaft is done I am assuming these engines are pretty bullet proof

Thanks for all the help in advance

Jae
